Our greatest memory of Kuya Dan was when my husband Ray (his brother-in-law) arrived in the US from the Philippines and lived with them for a period of time. Kuya Dan was very excited to bring him out to eat "American food". So, they ended up at KFC but my husband said he was looking to eat his chicken with rice! Kuya Dan had to remind him that they were eating "American food" and therefore he had to eat his chicken with everything American and "NO" rice.



Kuya Dan, you will be missed by our family and the Lariosa family. Rest in Peace.
